Naruto never loved Sakura. He crushed on her. Please learn the definition of loving and crushing.

Sorry bro but he loved her..

Yea....I've ALWAYS been pro NaruHina and knew NaruSaku wouldn't happen, HOWEVER, Kishi is insulting our intelligence with the whole "Naruto didn't really love Sakura thing".....that flashback with Sai did not show a man who didn't genuinely love a girl or only wanted her bc she wanted his rival.

That said, his loving her didn't mean they were meant to end up together. Naruto accepted Sakura loved Sasuke from part 1. I think he had a MATURE love that only wanted her to be happy..if that meant with Sasuke, then so be it. So his heart had moved on.

Whether or not the red herring stuff is common, Kishi would've been better off properly developing the friggin pairing her planned on from the beginning and actually showing some positive development between SS.....now, Sakura looks like an utter joke by ending up with a dude who was ready to let her burn in a pit of fire just 7 chapters prior. It's ridiculous.

7 chapters was months ago :|
Sasuke was in darkness at that point and he has been treating his team better for months before he left.
Even when he told Naruto that he should let them drop if they get in the way Sakura was still hoping that the Sasuke she knew would return and eventually he did

Ok fine if he really loved her than show me a panel where Naruto openly says it. Not some fodder character who just joined his team. When Naruto had been around this character for a long time.

You see that is my point. You guys are angry because he died for pairings. I don't understand this anger honestly? Do you think Naruto not having a family was better for his character? When that was one of the biggest aspects of his life he regretted not having?

Also if not Neji who would you kill?

So..in a manga that isn't (shojo is it? idk) romance based, is it ok to have anyone die for the sake of pairing? Jiraiya died to show naruto how lonely sasuke felt. OK, that's acceptable because shippuden was about naruto understanding sasuke and getting him back. Neji dying for a pairing?......how does that benefit the mangas plot? Sorry to say but hinata isn't even a main character. this isn't a love manga. Why should Neji die to play cupid? I get that he also died and Naruto's resolve to win was strengthened (and thats why i accepted his death before) but in that SUPPOSED interview, Kishimoto said Neji died to play cupid to naruhina.

The fact there's people actually defending a female character written by Kishi is completely laughable

Were defending her because you act like she is completely like 100% a terrible character and theres literally nothing that can be said about her.

I could very well be wrong here, but didn't Sai think that the only reason Naruto was chasing after Sasuke was for Sakura? Pretty sure that's why he said it like that. He thought the pain Naruto was feeling was exclusively due to his thus far failed promise to bring Sasuke back for Sakura. That wasn't the case. He wanted him back just as much for himself as for her.

So you asked me how his death impacted the manga? Than answered it your self. Now your going after Kishi's interview and negating everything you saw after? Look regardless of what ever the reason he died. Neji's downfall was not his death, it was his character that had little to do with the plot in part 2. Yes I know this is not a romance manga. But we still got a romance movie regardless? Meaning romance was gonna play a role in Naruto's life when he got older. This is nothing but a natural development for any human being. So I am not sure why you have a problem with it?

That manga scan got you tight huh?

1. Sai isn't a fodder who just joined the team. He's an anbu trained very obersvant ninja who grew close to his teammates and he understands them.
2. The definition of love is "intense feeling of deep affection". Real Love doesn't need to be expressed verbally when its actionary.
3. Sai wasn't the only one that was close to Sakura and Naruto who was coming to that conclusion..

Says Naruto loves Sakura. Brings a source of two newbies telling the girl he loves her. Lol

Thanks for making my day. :leaf:

Lol your stretched but that's what happens when someone cannot admitt the truth. Kishi wrote the manga homie and that scan is all the proof in the world. I don't expect you to accept it but I think you should look up something called context clues. Its a major part of literature and Kishi has used that throughout his entire manga.

Kishi wrote the manga right? Well in a interview he said he trolled you guys. But of course you will not believe him. You will only believe Sai and Yamato. Lol

Yamato reacted pretty negatively when Sakura "confessed" to Naruto. Actually looked like he wanted to confront Sakura in 469 and had to be held back by Kakashi.

Lmao Kishi can say what he wants and I'll believe it because he's the aurthor. Secondly, I'm not delusional like you but the fact of the matter is Kishi illustrated the scans I posted and those scans are in my favor in this arguement. Stay mad bro..

Oh I am delusional now? I am not the one whose claiming Naruto has some foreseeable love. Said to have been said by two newbies who just joined the team. Lol Also those scans never showed me what I wanted. So your scans were a waste sadly. Next time actually give me the scans I ask for. Instead of sugarcoating with it pretty words.
